The iPod was so derivative of the creative labs mp3 player that Apple ultimately had to pay them $100 million.

The Lisa and later the Macintosh copied from xerox. Something that everyone was doing around then. Amiga and Atari ST both had guis. Hell even the commodore 64 had Geos. The Mac didn't even get color until 1987.

Handspring had a smart phone, complete with touch screen and apps, years before the iPhone.

Mac os didn't have proper multitasking until version 7.5, years after Windows had it.

Onkyo created the first true wireless earbuds.

If only there was a breed of dog that we could use to control the wolf population. Maybe something in the hound category, native to the country in need. Some sort of Russian wolf hound.

Yeah, but they do sometimes take a cut off the top.

Doesn't Australia include the tax in the listed price of the item instead of adding it at the end?

Get yourself a blade bank and put your used blades in it. They are a cheap and safe way to dispose of your razor blades.

All that was over 60 years ago. Double your original Few Decades comment. North Dakota has been conservative for quite some time now.

Although in 1920 the age of consent was 18 in both North Dakota and Minnesota, or we could go back to 1880 when the age of consent was 10 (so wrong) in both North Dakota and Minnesota. /jk

I'm going to have to press (x) to doubt. They have voted republican in every election since 1964. The only time the Republican candidate has gotten less than 50% of the vote during those years was when Ross Perot was splitting the Republican vote.

Maybe if you're going back past when the parties switched ideologies.

Fargo can be progressive, I know many of the bars there have historically been pretty LGBTQ friendly, but the rest of NoDak hasn't as been progressive.

That makes zero sense. You don't have to be married to get the household card, just have to live in the same house.

It's 16 in Minnesota and 17 in New York, but 18 in North Dakota. Let's not act like a higher age of consent is directly tied to progressive policies.

As a dog owner who sees a lot of other dog owners leaving shit everywhere, the shit in the streets is probably at least 50% from pets.

My closest Costco doesn't really have self check, since they always have someone there doing the scanning for you. Effectively the self check is a weird looking Express Lane that they only sometimes enforce the item limit on.
